Same caricature prompt, different style card
Prompts on this page only describe the scene. The style card you pick decides how it is drawn, so one prompt gives you twelve different looks.
The prompt sets the scene
Who is in the picture, what they are doing, the props and the place. That is all a caricature prompt needs.
The style card sets the look
Watercolor, 3D, pencil, comic and eight more. Leave words like “cartoon” or “oil painting” out of the prompt and let the card decide.
Your photo sets the faces
Upload a photo and the people in it stay recognizable. The generator keeps the same number of people as your photo.

Caricature prompt FAQ
Using, editing and copying the prompts on this page.
What makes a good caricature prompt?
A clear subject (“me”, “the two of us”), one action, a couple of props and a setting. Exaggeration comes from the caricature style itself, so you do not need to ask for a big head in every prompt.
Can I use these as ChatGPT caricature prompts?
Yes. Click “Copy” and paste the prompt into ChatGPT or Gemini together with your photo. On CarioApp you also get 12 fixed caricature styles, HD downloads and a result that keeps your face recognizable.
Do I need a photo?
No, but it helps. Without a photo the prompt creates new characters. With a photo, the people in it are drawn into the scene and the same number of people is kept.
Why do the prompts not mention an art style?
Because the style card decides the style. Keeping prompts style-neutral means each one works in watercolor, 3D, pencil, comic or any of the other styles without conflicting instructions.
Can I use a caricature prompt for a group of people?
Yes. Write “everyone in my photo” and upload one group photo. For more group ideas see the group caricature page.
Is it free to try these prompts?
Yes, with the Standard model. For more images, other models and HD up to 2K, the one-time $4.99 Starter Pack covers about 10 standard caricatures.
